Mad for monograms and a monogram giveaway!

Hello and happy Friday late day to you....kind of glad this week is over. Between my husbands pneomonia, my own root canal and a stomach bug......I am totally ready for a relaxing weekend,  I think I have earned a few glasses of wine or champagne (maybe even a bottle)!

OK, its definitely no secret how very much I love monograms. I mean really love them. I would monogram just about anything  that isn't nailed down (and often do). I just cannot get enough.....how about you?

So today, I was tickled pink to get a signed copy of Victoria's new Monogram issue in my mailbox. This magazine is absolutely exquisite and a MUST HAVE for anyone who loves monogram. Filled from front page to back cover of the most fabulous, droolworthy pictures of monograms, on linens, silver, china and stationary...it made me a bit weak at the knees! Seriously...I cannot stop looking at this magnificent collection filled with the most beautiful images. You must get a copy!! You will thank me:)

Best part? Hoffman Media  sent me two extra signed copies!! So I am giving away two issues to two very lucky monogramming loving readers. For those of who need to get a copy for yourself pronto, you can order it by clicking here. It is not to be missed, pure and simple. This is one of those magazines (like my many Southern Accents) that you will just not throw away!

So first a look at some of the wonderful ways monograms are being used today. And details on how to enter the drawing on the bottom.......enjoy!!

 Amazing what  three little letters can do to a bed!

  17. I have long been a fan of Victoria Magazine since it came out in the 80's. I always saved the calling card columns, mostly of the beautiful graphics and monograms. I think the set of square soaps are my favorite, and would look exquisite in the powder room on one my moms silver platters.

  18. Soaps or barware would be high on my list of love to own monogrammed items.

  28. Monogram anything!

    I too so enjoyed the Victoria Magazine "monogram "
    Something so regal about monograming, even when you have them displayed is a rustic cottage home. They are timeless.

    Thank you for sharing your grace and beauty.

  30. Tina,
    I love all the photos! In your shop - I love the 'highball glassware'. It reminds me of when I was a little girl and my mother and Aunts would drink highballs at all my cousins big Polish weddings.

  32. Love it all - it's so hard to decide. Maybe the glass pitcher because you can never have too many pitchers. I'm a longtime fan of Victoria magazine (I was reading it in my teens). Thanks for the opportunity and thank you for the great monogram photos!

  33. I love the highballs! My favorite by far....second choice would be the monogrammed soaps but I would never ever use them! Everything is lovely. On another note, I especially love the blue and white napkins you showed on the blog today....just perfect!

  36. Oh Tina, you are speaking my language. I love anything with a monogram as well. I have always had a love of typography so monograms fit in perfectly with that. Love all of the above images, especially the over-sized monograms, amazing. Happy Saturday,

  39. Love your scripted soaps and linens Tina! Wow, I guess you can get just about anything monogrammed these days:) I have the JR sandals but there are not monogrammed ~ so I need to get that done next time!

    Some how I missed that your husband had pneomonia and that you had a root canal and a stomach bug.. I'm so sorry to hear this:( Hopefully you will enjoy a relaxing recuperative weekend.

    We have family in from out of town so I'll be running around preparing for the evenings festivities. Have fun today!

  42. Hi Tina,

    I got tickled by Kathy's comment that she named her daughter with her inititials so she could inherit her monogrammed treasures. Now that's thinking ahead! I'm also a fan of the beautiful Victoria magazines & have issues dating back to the 80's. Bless Phyllis Hoffman for resurrecting that publication. As for your store - what's not to love? The square soaps are such a classy touch in a guest bathroom, but my favorite monogram item is the necklace because it's a gorgeous font that will dress up the most casual outfit. Keep the "pretty" coming!

  43. Hi tina,
    I have to say that I love the monogram soap! So pretty!

  44. Greetings!
    I am in LOVE with the monogram necklace. I grew up wearing monograms on EVERYTHING and my daughter is falling in love with monogrammed clothing and jewelry also! I guess the acorn does not fall far from the tree!!!
    LOVE,LOVE, LOVE everything!!!
    Thanks so much for your wonderful blog!

    Love it all......Can never get too much monogrammed.
    Love the monogrammed necklace so much. Have your monogrammed soap which smells so good!
    If I purchase anything that would be passed down to my grandchildren, I will put their monogram on the item and leave it to that child when I'm gone.
    Hope you're having a great weekend.
    Sold my home that I just renovated before I got it on the market. Yea!!!!

  47. I'm so sorry you had such an awful week. You do deserve some wine! Hope everything goes back on track shortly.

    Thank you for the Victoria magazine giveaway. I love both monograms and the magazine and used to have a subscription years ago for the gorgeous photos. Years later I named my daughter Victoria, not after the magazine but the name must have certainly buried itself in my brain. My favorite item in the shop is your monogrammed towels. I like the circle monogram the best.

  54. I have been collecting antique monogrammed silver napkin rings, and have been lucky enough to find a few that have 2 (and 3!) initials that match with those of family members. These have been a great conversation starter on the table. I love the monogrammed silver necklace. This was a fun post, thank you! Catherine B

  55. Hope everyone's feeling well again! I'm with you: am nuts about monograms (that green pillow in your post caused heart palpitations). I love all of your monogrammed items, but, I think I'd love to have the disposable towels for my powder room -- I've got the tray, but I've run out of towels, and yours are gorgeous. Wonderful, beautiful post today, as usual. Marilyn in Mt. Vernon, VA

  56. Tina,

    I hope that you are feeling better...a root canal and a stomach bug, makes a very miserable time, throw in being a nurse and I am sure that you are worn out!

    I LOVE monograms, and have been dreaming about the green pillows since you had them on your blog. They are stunning!!!!!

    As is every other item that you have shown today. LOVE them ALL!

    I hope that you have a great weekend and a little downtime to relax and rest.

    Thank you for always stopping by and your always kind comments!

  57. Love the simple and elegant water pitcher in your storefront and the W on is it made to order for the Wilkins Family! I am so in love with monograms that I have my initials on the rear window of my car in a fancy French font!

    Feel better soon! Thanks for your wonderful blog which I look forward to every day! Take care.........

    This post is just beautiful. So many gorgeous images, I am busy pinning away. Thank you for the eye candy. I would love to win, the soaps and the glasses are my current favorite item but I really love it all and the few things I have bought from you I have been so happy with. Thank you and have a nice weekend.

  74. Being a "southerner", I thought we were the ones who monogrammed EVERYTHING - NOPE, it's universal! I loved everything that was shared and had two favorites. Crazy about the silk green pillows but my very favorite was the Carolyne Roehn blue monogrammed cloth napkins.

    ReplyDelete
  75. Wow! Everything is lovely! I'd love to have some of the monogrammed candles. I'll bet the illumination of the monogram from the flickering flame is quite awesome!

  76. I was excited to see the monogramed carving board and it's very well done. As newlyweds thirty-one years ago we were given one and it has served us well. Every time I use it I think of the dear friends that gifted us! It just may be time to have another in this different size.
